Before we get started I wanted to mention the change in the appearance of “Connie’s Purse” blog. I am getting prepared to launch a small business called “Connie’s Purse”. I will be selling purses, accessories and t-shirts. Some of the proceeds will be donated to heart disease and healthy eating awareness. I am so excited to take this experience and turn it into something positive to help others as my Aintee Connie did for me and so many others. With that being said, let’s get to our “Don’t Forget About You Friday”!!

For the new bees we started, "Don’t Forget About You Friday’s”about a month ago. Every other Friday you have to buy something for yourself and share it with Connie’s Purse followers.This idea stems from Aintee Connie loving Friday’s and shopping. We will honor her memory by treating ourselves to a little something every other Friday.

This is what I picked up…

I found this storage box at Marshall’s for $3.99. As our family move closer to finalizing all of Aintee Connie’s business affairs I thought this would be the perfect box to store some of her important documents in. Of course, me & my daughter will have a project night and bling it out first. I will make sure to show you guys the finished, “Aintee Connie Bling Storage Box”.

I also wanted to share this gift I received from my Auntie Ernestine from Minnesota.

It’s a high heel tape dispenser. I love it!!!

Our family went to Minnesota to visit for spring break last week. Of course, I have to dedicate an entire blog entry to that because we had such a good timeJ

Last but not least, I would like to share a “Don’t Forget About You” participant find. My Aunt Yolanda found this beautiful hat box that she would like to share with us. It also reminded me that Aintee Connie took a trip to London to visit her brother and his family. I will also dedicate an entire blog entry to that as well next week.

If you would like to share your “Don’t Forget About You Friday” purchase please leave a comment or send me an email at Conniespurse@gmail.com.

Until next time let’s live life and love life. People will still Love you if you Love yourself.

"AINTEE CONNIE"

WELCOME TO CONNIE'S PURSE

This blog is dedicated to my Aunt Connie who died suddenly at the age of 53 of a heart attack. I named this blog "Connie's Purse" because she had an eye for fashion and loved shoes and purses. As a Classy Lady she often had items you needed right in her purse. Just like most of the things we need in life are right beside us and we don't even realize it. Join Me in Connie's Purse as we keep her memory alive and discuss the life she loved.
